v1.7 release notes enjoy!!

So if I understand right, now the tracks are as subgroup mixer buses in a DAW, and the program mixer acts as normal mixer channels across all the sequences?

Art James wrote:Tracks get bounced individually. So if your sequence has 10 tracks, and you use the explode track export option, you will get 10 audio files; one for each track, even if all 10 tracks use the same program. Or you can bounce each program as stems. Whatever you want to do. Because the audio is now on the program side instead of the track side, any adjustment you make to any program or pad fader or plugin will happen in every sequence that program, pad and insert is used. So there is no more jumping back between sequences to adjust things except for actual track settings (ie track names, track types).

So just to be sure I understand this answer me this...
If I crate a project with one track for my drums(5 sounds) anther for Kontakt (5 sounds) and one for a sample(1 sound) thats three actual tracks, when I go to track explode when I'm done creating it will seperate all my drums and all my Kontakt instru Into seperate stems 11 in total... is this correct with 1.7?[/quote]

No. For one, your first five drums sounds need to be exploded to separate tracks after recording. Second, you can't use five Kontakt sounds on one track. So you need to make 5 tracks here as well. Then when you export, all tracks will be stemmed.

What problems do you have reading snd files? They load fine for me from my xl. There were some improvements made loading .aps files. Before they wouldn't load samples to pads. Now they do.

I got a external floppy, threw in a MPC60 disk and it only gives me the option to format it? is your 2k files saved as .snd or fat32?

Ah. Maybe we can see if we can get it added to the software.

In software its EZ tho... just doubleclick where U want to divide/split... Many things in software are just fast. Guess its why I have adapted and don't mind not always working from small screen on hardware

Ok I get that you hav to explode first and settings will be same in program mixer across all seqs but

Then you said:
Yes. This now allows you to export multi timbral instruments like Kontakt into individual stems even when using only one instance. Probably one of my favorite new features.

What did you mean then if I still hav to hav multi track for Kontakt ?

why would you want a global tempo? having separate tempos between sequences is crucial for me when i time stretch. I can determine the tempo of a sample in a separate sequence, find the bpm and stretch to my other sequences' bpm. a global tempo would kill this functionality, no?

Can anybody confirm if the "Auto save" feature has been refined, so it works quietly in the background without annoyingly halting the audio playback?.

why wouldn't the primary track be replaced with first pad. instead of leaving it to be deleted manually?

It gets muted and kept. In the event you want to reuse the note event data on a single track, refer back to it, copy it to another sequence all in one shot, etc.

Thanks. Are you guys on a final build yet?

what do u think?

HAHAAAAAAA

No.

Depends on how you work.

Previous MPCs have had a Master and a Sequence setting for tempo.

Having a global (Master) tempo option would not kill the Sequence tempo functionality, you would just leave it set to Sequence option, and it would work exactly the same way it does for you now.

How is it different to setting Chop To: Regions, Num Regions 2, in the software at the moment?

Mine are .snd.

What I mean is that if I load a single instance of Kontakt, and I use 5 different libraries for example, across five different MPC tracks, the Explode Track export option will stem all five tracks to individual wave files. Previously, you had to solo each one and manually export each one at a time. Now it's automated. Basically, any sound you want to be exported as an individual file must be on it's own track.

Different tempos are a nightmare for daw tracking. Master tempo would simply be a setting you can quickly turn on or off from the main screen. It wouldn't be mandatory.

That sounds like a problem with the external floppy drive and computer OS reading the MPC60 floppy disk, not necessarily with MPC Software having problems reading the MPC60 .SND file.
